Comments about ‘16 in-state gridders sign to play for Cougars, Utes and Aggies’

So A- Jeff (BYU-Homer) Call, you said Utah, BYU and Utah State all had in State recruits? You talked about the Utes and the ones they got, the Cougs and the ones they got, but not a mention of the ones the AGGIES got?
So typical of the Wasatch SLC-Provo Media. DO you ever wonder why Aggies dislike the SLC-Provo media? Don't wonder anymore, or try to make excuses, we are getting sick and tired of always being left out. And until we have the same type of FAIR and BALANCED reporting, we will always be on your case about un-reporting things relating to USU! COME on, Fair and Balanced should be you guys and gals motto, when that happens it truly shows your professionalism, when it doesn't, you should know the backlash.

Jim Nantz has been the only Fair and Balanced reporter from this STATE, even if he did work at KSL, he gave equal time to all the Universities in the State. That is why he moved on and was chosen by the National Media because they saw his fair and balanced reporting. Rod Zundel of KSL is a close second!

Congrats to all the signees. Has anyone heard about Pine View's QB Nick Marinko and where he is going to play? He had Madden like numbers throughout the season (until the Timpview game).

It's obvious that UTAH won the in-state recruiting battle as well as the out of state. BYU has a solid class, take nothing away from it, but Utah has the better class on paper. I guess we won't really know who is the better class for a few years but as for now you can Chalk a W up to Utah on this one.

Sounds like a good year for the Cougs and the Utes. Our high school players are fortuante that we have two great in-state Div. 1 football programs. All that said: Go Utes!

Byu got everyone they wanted.

Cougar coach Bronco Mendenhall reiterated that his recruiting base is the Beehive State... Mid-Major forever and no, no, never a BCS bowl. Nuff Said

More stuff about Hinkley and Delta, too!!!

How come you only mentioned names of those being recruited by BYU and U of U? What about Utah State- don't they count? I know of an awesome football player recuited by the Aggies coming from Hunter High. Since you didn't bother to mention him I will: He's #87 Harold Moleni. At least ABC 4 news sports at 5:30pm mentioned the names recruited by USU. Come on be FAIR!

Amen! I've cancelled subscriptions to most of the SLC/Provo newspapers for this very reason. Do they honestly think that no one who attended USU or is an Aggie fan lives in their readership area? Very short-sighted. Disappointing.

Where is the Brady kid from Sky View going? I watched him twice and he is a very good player. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Are you also upset that they didn't talk about Weber State?

I'm a USU alumni, but I understand that these guys are in a business and will write what is of most interest to their readers. Few people down here care what our terrible USU football team is up to.

As soon as USU has somewhat of a decent football program, I wouldn't be complaining much about hearing names you'll never hear of again.

Let the "SLC-Provo" media cover "SLC-Provo" teams. If you want Logan news, go to the Logan media (if they have media).

Mckade Brady (Sky View) is considering an offer from Navy. He will be making a trip to Annapolis within the next week. Good enough for Navy but not USU, Hmmmm..?

Notice how you hear nothing about the Comer kid from Springville. Is he a gamble or what's the deal? He didn't do much in high school.

Its good enough for Navy and TOO GOOD for USU...

In response to Ernest T. Bass...BYU got EVERYONE they wanted huh? If you'd actually read the article, you'd have read the quote where Mendenhall openly admitted that they missed out on two BIG TIME players in the state of Utah, that went to...wait for it....wait for it...UTAH! Seriously, can you read? Or do you just like making blind, idiotic statements?

Here's another shocker for ya...Not everyone in Utah who is offered a scholarship to BYU wants to go there! Not even everyone who's mormon (like me) wants to go to the Y. BYU had a good class, but don't be stupid. Given the choice, you'd rather have those two players on your sideline than ours.

To correction, I stand corrected and Amen!!

Dave,

Thanks for the info. Did none of the instate schools offer Brady? One of the games I watched he went against the kid from West #7 that is going to BYU and the Brady kid was much better head to head. But given the chance to go to Navy he would get a very good education and be on a good team. Thanks again.

These commitments don't mean squat. It is a total crap shoot, in terms of who will be good and who won't, some players who are supposed to be great, turn out to be duds. Let me know in 3 years how these boys shake out, today no one knows.
